- I've noticed the exact same thing with my EF-515 & EF-420/240 antennas. It usually happens as a storm front is approaching. It even causes a little static in my TV & stereo. I haven't turned on the r

- Hummm. I had a similar problem with my Force12 EF-180A (80M rotatable dipole). The bird feces (droppings) would saturate the fiberglass insulating rod at the center of the driven element causing cond

- According to Tom (don't quote me on this) in a previous note a while back, its ok to remove the pvc insulators from the elements (except for the driven element(s) of course) and attach them directly

- I have the same phenomenon with stacked C4XL and C3. As a storm approaches from the distance, I hear clicks in the receiver, increasing in amplitude and decreasing in "inter-spike interval" as the st

- Try putting some static drain resistors across the points where it's arcing. 100K @ 2 watts ought to do nicely. 73, Roger -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towertalkfaq.html Submissions: tower

- Do you mean across the element ends bridging the insulator? Or do you mean from each element half to the boom? What are the potential down sides to this? Thanks & 73, DavidC AA1FA -- FAQ on WWW: htt

- Install the resistors across the point where arcing occurs (in other words, across the insulator). The potential down sides are that the potential is downsized! (What a great straight line ... thanks
